Introduction to Equine Law

Did you know more than three million people are involved in equestrian activity in the UK? It is believed that there are more horses in the Country now than at any time since before World War One.

All of this activity brings financial and legal responsibility. Specialist legal advice is therefore essential.

The Equine world is unique and diverse, with its own set of terminology and complex rules and regulations. Whether you are involved in the buying and selling of horses, the running of a riding school or simply someone who enjoys riding or working with horses, it is comforting to know that specialist legal advice is available. This firm’s Equine team understand the practical and legal issues surrounding this area. They are here to listen and to help whether you are a business or an individual.

ABD’s Equine Team is developing associations with The British Horse Society, British Eventing and with the Equine Division of Wiltshire College Lackham. The team comprises Andrew Douglas, Tim Higham, Nicola Newton and Peter Johnson, the latter two being the firm’s nominated members of the Equine and Animal Lawyers Association.
